Young New Zealanders are being called to share their views about life, faith, and their experience of Church through an online survey published today by the New Zealand Catholic Bishops

The Catholic Church is
launching a nation-wide survey for all youth. The survey is part of an international effort by Pope Francis to
better understand the lives, attitudes and concerns of young people around the world, in the lead up to the
Synod on "Young people, faith and vocational discernment" in Rome, October 2018.

New Zealanders aged 16 – 29 years old are encouraged to answer the survey and tell their friends about it
and share the link with their networks. The survey will go live on 23 July and will run for five weeks, with
the closing date for responses midnight on Sunday, 27 August 2017.
